GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 402416
configure failure due to missing HAVE_GNOME_DOC_UTILS
Last modified: 2007-01-30 15:40:03 UTC
From my jhbuild sandbox: configure: error: conditional "HAVE_GNOME_DOC_UTILS" was never defined. Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally. then the configure script exit.
Yes we are only envoking GNOME_DOC_INIT conditionally since GNOME_DOC_INIT rudely fails and halts your build when g-d-u is not present, a fix for this (see bug 392411) is in place and will be applied when the fixed macro is available in a new release of g-d-u. You are the first to report any real breakage due to the conditional call - care to attatch here the error messages ? config.log maybe ?
Applied the second patch from Christian in bug 392411 and it works. There are not so much usuful info in config.log (the same error message reported in first comment). However I'll attach here, just the time to revert the path. OK to close this bug as duplicate of 392411?
Forgot to mention: even without the patch, the configure works fine if I set --enable-user-manual by hand.
Created attachment 81517 [details] config.log with failure
